As I already mentioned earlier, I recently bought a brand new Nikon D80
and started with a new hobby: Photography. :) With this entry I'd like to
share some first experiences in this direction. The D80 seems to be a very
good camera, I'm really amazed about its poissibillities. It is the best
non-professional Nikon camera, AFAIK, and might be even a bit oversized
for a photo beginner like me. Until now I only had experiences with
compact cams and the D80 is my first DSLR (digital single lens reflex)
camera. However, I'm very interessted in photography so I'm sure I will
grow with this camery quite fast. The source of my interest are inspiring
photographers in my surrounding: Derick, Sebastian, Marcus and most
recently also Kore and Jakob. In addition, I love great photos and always
wanted to be able to take those on my own. The final clincher was the
experience with Kores D70s in Berlin. [Read full post…]

Last weekend my girlfriend and me tripped to Berlin, primarily to see the
musical Dance of the Vampires. I seized the chance and tried out Kores
Nikon D70s camera to finally decide if I would also buy a digital
single-lense reflex (DSLR) camera. Best thing first: My D80 is already
ordered and will hopefully arrive next Tuesday. :) [Read full post…]

I seized the boring time in the past days (I've had a really bad cold) and
migrated my photo gallery to Flickr. So far I hosted the photos on my own,
using Gallery. While Gallery is a great tool that allowed me to
comfortablly manage and present my images, it has one great flaw: I host
it by myself. That means a) that serving images from my server costs quite
a bit of performance, if you involve PHP and even a database, and b) that
I need to take care for updates myself. The first issue is a minor one,
since my server is powerful enough to serve the job and not that many
people are interessted. The second topic is much more disturbing, since I
need to keep track about security updates all the time and need to bring
an update in place ASAP, if one occurs. [Read full post…]
